SCOUTING REPORT
Chick was once a top prospect in the San Diego and Cincinnati farm systems, and has been involved in several trades during his career, but hasn’t been able to get out of the AA/AAA level, with just 36.2 innings at the AAA level after eight seasons.  Chick has bounced around as a minor league free agent the past few years, and after playing indy ball in 2010, was signed by the Pirates as depth for the Indianapolis Indians.
